Sunday Mornings are my sacred time, the time when I re-group and focus on my Self. I reflect on my journey and my purpose, on the people that I have connected to in this life, and how we all impact one another.  This is when the vast majority of my ideas are born, when my intuitive self is most confident in my direction. Inspirations and images flow through me with ease, sometimes so fast I have to write them hurriedly in my worn dog-eared notebooks of artwork that is yet to become. Each thought or concept is a Seed to be planted. Each one to be symbolically created either to encourage me through my own life or to be the hand that holds another's during their journey.  Isn't that why we are all here?  To help one another through this life?  To stand with one another? As my life has evolved, this is the way in which my compassion for others has transformed. And. ...this is the way that my compassion for my Self has transformed. I try to infuse this love ...

My entire adult life has been spent seeking, sharing, and Being Peace. I strive to surround myself with people who live their lives in a peaceful way, and try to inspire those who struggle to obtain it.  When I was young, I was blessed to grow up in an area of Upstate NY that was rich in cultural diversity. "Normal" to me was being immersed in that melting pot that was defined by so very many cultures and religions. My memories are filled with weekend events - celebrations, dinners, and dances held at different cultural community centers and churches. Everyone was welcome, and everyone would partake. This place had been a destination for many immigrants years back due to the opportunities for work. I remember my grandparents telling me about the old shoe and cigar factories, which were popular places for jobs. As the area grew, more and more industry came. Families were proud and grateful to have life long jobs that allowed them to take care of their families. There ...

The subject matter and symbolic message from my original painting "We All See the Same Moon" resonates with my soul so greatly that I wanted to find a way to expound on its creation. The painting spoke of seeing past our differences and the things that divide us, to bond as compassionate humans in peace and love.  This was portrayed in the painting within a celestial theme. Under the full moon, in a dark and starry sky, are four "Star Beings". Each of the Star Beings are unique and come from far different places in the universe, though they are all connected in their celestial world as Star Beings. They look beyond their differences, knowing that no matter how differently they may appear.... they all See the Same Moon.  In order to allow the painting to evolve, I decided to create a series of cloth and clay Art Dolls of each of the four Star Beings in the painting.  The first being, Andromeda. Andromeda has even further inspired me to g...

 Dragonfly and Butterfly are led by the Light of the Sun, guided by its warm and healing energy to travel their journey with optimism and joy. Luna Moth is guided by the Light of the Moon who teaches her to Trust, to trust  in her inner knowing, confident that even though she may not see the path... it is there before her.  From their beautiful delicate lives we are urged to make the most of our moments, to live and love to the fullest, for the path of Light  Love Faith and Trust are the ultimate journey. "The Journey of Faith and Love" Original Painting by Jeanne Fry My newest painting, "The Journey of Faith and Love", was meant to express the path of life. In an Art Nouveau style I brought together the symbolic elements of the circle of life; the honey brown golden swirls represent the sun, the turquoise swirls represent the moon, the flower chalice holds the moon which represents the Universe, and the blossoming flower petals represent our personal...
